Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity?
It is a commitment to use a specific amount of Azure storage capacity for a set term, typically 1 or 3 years, in exchange for a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. This ensures capacity is available when you need it and provides cost predictability.
What is RA-GRS storage?
RA-GRS stands for Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage. It means your data is replicated to a secondary region for durability and disaster recovery, and you can access both the primary and secondary copies of your data.
Who benefits most from this offering?
Organizations with predictable, large-scale storage needs that require consistent performance and cost certainty will benefit most. This includes businesses managing big data, large databases, or critical applications with high data access demands.
